This session will provide practical guidance on a range of common employment issues: 

  • Locum and employment contracts – can locums ever claim employment rights?
  • Responding to complaints –  practitioners’ rights when faced with internal investigations and tips for a fair disciplinary procedure
  • Health issues – how practitioners can obtain support and reasonable adjustments and how employers can follow a fair internal process
